So, it seems like PieFed is becoming a real alternative to lemmy.

What are the differences between these two? From a tech perspective, and also morality/ethics, if you want. Any differences in vision for these services?

Say whatever is on your mind. I want to know.

On which one should we put our weight?

Edit: I will leave this post here, which is a post by one of the devs of Lemmy that enumerates some of the things Lemmy 1.0 has. Lemmy 1.0 seems to be already in alpha stage and is already testable. The feature selection does look fantastic. Here is the post I am referring to: https://lemmy.ml/post/40744781

    we should make a new one and then make a new one again so that the community is split into smaller and smaller pieces with less users and the whole fediverse thing can be less interesting overall

      Tell that to the instance admins on lemmy.ml who ban people from communities they’ve never so much as heard of for making offhand comments. Or to Steve Huffman himself who should have done Reddit the “right” way?

      Seriously, all FOSS is good. Being able to start up your own instance, either Lemmy or PieFed, is good. The fact that they all communicate together is great.

      If PieFed brought an additional 100k content creators to the Threadiverse, that only enhances the user experience, even as viewed narrowly from purely the Lemmy side.

      I for one have accounts on both Lemmy and PieFed, and while I use PieFed far more often lately (since it offers far more features that I like?), I do legitimately use both for different purposes. I revel in having options to choose from!:-)

          Right, because you have alternatives to have an account on instead:-). This is an example of where divisiveness can be a good thing - we don’t all have to be on the same instance, or even using the same software, whether Lemmy vs. PieFed vs. Mbin vs. nodeBB vs. flarum (eventually), or Mastodon or Friendica, all of it can be interconnected. I would argue that this makes the Threadiverse a more interesting place to be, actually. Because I definitely would have gotten kicked off of or voluntarily left lemmy.ml long ago, if that were the only option available…
